8A.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination
to overturn.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the video product, and
to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
10. Power Sources - This video product should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance supplier or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from battery power or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. A.
13. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power surges.
14. Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
15. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled on, or objects have fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service.
19. Exchange Policy - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or which have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
20. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21. Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products that
produce heat.
22. Telephone - Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
23. Gas Leaks - Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.
If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone
away from the area where gas is leaking. With a cordless phone, also
make sure that the phone base is away from the gas leak.
24. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

INFRARED (IR) TECHNOLOGY
Infrared (IR) technology allows you to give instructions (like
changing channels) to a piece of equipment—and it’s wireless.
The remote control and wireless keyboard use IR beams
to send your instructions to the Set Top Box. Then, the
Set Top Box uses IR Blasters to send those instructions to
your other equipment. Instead of having to juggle remote
controls or switch from one device to another, the Set Top
Box simplifies your TV tasks by taking care of everything.
The IR blasters allow your Set Top Box to communicate
with several devices at one time, depending on where they
are located.
STEP FOUR: CONNECTING
AND
POSITIONING
The IR Blasters are designed to tuck under most
equipment, directly in front of each device’s IR
sensor. Usually, the sensor looks like a small,
dark window in the front panel. The user
manual for each device you own should identify
the IR sensor.
If your equipment is arranged so that several
devices stack one above the other, one IR blaster
can signal all of them. The other blaster is not
used, so place it out of sight behind your
equipment. You can choose to use both blasters if
your equipment is stacked.
Or, if your Cable Box is in a different location
from your VCR, you might need to put an IR
Blaster under each of them. Blasters can send
signals to a range of 40 inches, as long as the eye
of the blaster is in a direct, uninterrupted line of
sight to the IR sensor of your equipment.
Plug the IR blaster into the IR BLASTER
jack on the back of the Set Top Box.
Place each IR Blaster so its eye can see the
sensor(s) on your equipment.

USING
THE WIRELESS KEYBOARD
AND THE REMOTE CONTROL
A wireless keyboard and remote control are
included with your Set Top Box. The keyboard
can perform many of the same functions as the
remote control, including switching channels and
adjusting the volume. You also can use it for
other tasks such as composing e-mail, visiting
Web pages, and shopping online.
Just like a remote control, you must point your
keyboard at the Set Top Box. The signal goes in
a straight, uninterrupted line from the dark plastic IR bubble in the top of the keyboard to the
dark plastic window on the front of the Set Top
Box.
For a number of tasks, you can use either the
remote control or the keyboard. See pages 18-19
for descriptions of individual remote control and
keyboard functions.
NOTE: If you point the remote or the keyboard at
the Set Top Box and nothing happens, check the batteries. Make sure they are fresh and are installed
according to the correct polarity (+/- indicators).
IR bubble
USING THE HIGHLIGHT
The highlight is a golden rectangle that outlines
words or images on the screen. Move the highlight
by pressing the ARROW buttons on the keyboard
or remote control, then press ENTER on the keyboard or remote control.
When you press ENTER, the highlight changes
color and a sound plays, meaning your request has
been received.
TYPING ON THE AOLTV SERVICE
Typing on the AOLTV service is very much like
typing on a typewriter. First, use the ARROW buttons to select the box where you want to type. A
vertical line in the box tells you it’s time to start
typing. To correct a mistake, press BACKSPACE
to erase the letters you typed. Press once for each
letter you want to erase. Then retype the information the way you want it. When it’s correct, press
ENTER.

SETUP (CONT’D)
SETUP
Now that your Set Top Box is connected, you are ready to
set up your AOLTV service and sign on.
• First, press POWER on the keyboard to turn on the Set
Top Box.
• Make sure all the other equipment, such as the TV, VCR, and
Cable Box, is on.
IF YOU DON’T SEE THE AOLTV SCREEN:
• Make sure all the cables are attached firmly.
• Make sure all equipment is connected properly.
• If you used the red and white audio cables and the yellow
video or S-Video cable to connect the Set Top Box to the
TV or VCR, make sure the TV and/or VCR is set to the
correct channel. If you used the yellow video cable, set
the TV to the Audio/Video In channel (sometimes
referred to as A/V IN or AUX IN). If you used the SVideo cable, set the TV to the S-Video In channel. Refer
to your TV owner’s manual for details.
• If you used the coaxial cable to connect the Set Top Box
and the TV or VCR, set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
• Press SET TOP on the remote.
If you still don’t see the AOLTV screen, call AOLTV Member
Services at 1-800-810-4665.
USING A SINGLE
Connecting to the AOLTV service is also called “being online.” •
If the phone line you use with your Set Top Box is the only
phone you have, it will be busy while you are online unless
you have call waiting. See Call Waiting and AOL below for fur•
ther details.
CALL WAITING AND AOL
Here are some further details about call waiting.
• If you have call waiting service turned on, your
Set Top Box disconnects automatically when you
get an incoming call. The person calling you hears
a ring.
• If you don’t have call waiting, or if you choose to
turn it off while you are online, callers get a busy
signal.
• If you turn off call waiting while you are online,
it’s automatically turned back on when you sign
off.
• Different phone services might have different
codes to turn off call waiting. Contact your
phone company if you’re not sure of your code.
The code also may be listed in your local telephone directory.
21
PHONE LINE
If you need to make an emergency call, just pick up the
phone. In a few seconds, the Set Top Box will disconnect
from the AOLTV service. Press the switchhook on your
phone to get a dial tone.
For non-emergencies, sign off the AOLTV service, and
your phone line will be available.
SETUP (CONT’D)
CHOOSING ACCESS PHONE NUMBERS
Access phone numbers are the numbers your Set Top Box
dials to reach the AOLTV service. In many cases, there are
several different numbers in your local area from which to
choose. For some people, access phone numbers in more
than one area code might be local calls. Also, depending on
your location and calling plan, you may incur additional telephone charges, even when calling a local number. Please
check with your phone company if you’re unsure whether
an access phone number is a local call.
What Speed Should You Choose?
Each access number is listed by the speed of the connection. The Set Top Box uses a built-in modem to connect at
speeds up to 56 Kbps, so 56000 or any lower number
works. Lower numbers indicate slower connections. For
the best performance, we recommend you choose access
phone numbers with the highest possible speed.
How Access Numbers Work
Each time you click an access phone number, it is added to
a list. When you sign on, the Set Top Box dials the first
number on this list. If it happens to be busy, the box will
dial the next number. If you have several numbers on the
list, you’re likely to get connected sooner.
Once you have added all the numbers you like to your access
phone number list, make sure the numbers are correct.
• If your area uses 10-digit dialing even for local calls, change
your access phone number list accordingly.
• If you need to dial a 1 and then a number, you can do that, too.
CREATING
AN ACCOUNT
You have three choices when you create an AOLTV
account. If prompted, use the registration number and
registration code printed on the AOLTV Quick Start
Installation Guide.
• If you already have an AOL account, you can add the
AOLTV service to that account, and use the same
screen names for both your AOL and AOLTV services.
• If you have an AOL Instant Messenger™ account, you can
use that same screen name to create your AOLTV
account.
• You can create a brand new account with the AOLTV
service.
BILLING
America Online offers its members a variety of options
to pay their monthly charges. These options include
credit card billing and direct debiting from checking.
Once you have set up your account, you can view your
current bill summary or change your billing method and
information online at Keyword: Billing.

SETUP (CONT’D)
CREATING
A SCREEN NAME
Your screen name is the way people know you online. It
can include your real name, be a nickname, or say something about your hobbies and interests. You can use numbers, letters, and spaces in your screen name, and it can
be from 3 to 16 characters long.
Screen names are unique; you can’t use the same screen
name as another member. You can make your screen
name unique by adding numbers and letters to a name or
word. For example, use SallyonTV or SallyonTV123 or alternate spellings such as SalleeonTV. It’s a good idea to jot
down several alternatives in case your first choices are
already in use. AOL will generate alternative suggestions if
you can’t think of any yourself.
Each AOLTV account can have up to seven different
screen names — one primary screen name and up to six
controls. Right now, you just have to create the primary
others. The primary screen name is permanent. You can’t
screen name — the one that gets billed for the account.
ever change it, so choose it carefully.
You can create other screen names when it’s convenient
Each name has its own mailbox, password, and parental
to do so. See Additional Screen Names below.
ADDITIONAL SCREEN NAMES
You can have up to seven screen names on your account:
the primary screen name and six others. We recommend
you give each child his or her own screen name, separate
from the primary account.
When you sign on to AOLTV, you choose which screen
name you’re going to use for the session. To switch from
one screen name to another, you must sign off and sign on
again using the new screen name.
Only the primary screen name can create new screen
names and adjust Parental Controls settings.
CREATING
• To create a new screen name, go to Keyword: Names
and click Create a New Name.
• If you want to pick a different screen name, you can
delete any screen name on your account except the primary screen name.
• If you want to reuse an old screen name, you can restore
it if it was deleted within six months, and you still
remember the password.
A
AOLTV protects your privacy by requiring a password for
your account. Anyone who knows your screen name and
password can sign on and pretend to be you, so guard
your password carefully. When you’re creating a password, type the same thing twice so AOLTV can verify it. If
you make an error typing, the passwords won’t match and
you’ll need to retype them.
Make your password easy for you to remember, but not
easy for others to guess. If you forget your password, call
AOLTV Member Services. You can change your password
whenever you want online at Keyword: Password.
Information about how to use Keywords appears online in
Help.
Remember, AOLTV staff will NEVER ask you for
your password.

FEATURES
There are lots of features with your new AOLTV service. This chapter explains some of the most important functions so
you can become an expert fast. You can also find information online at Keyword: Help. Or, click Help & Setup on the Main
menu as explained in Additional Help, page 26.
MAIN MENU
The Main menu appears when you click the AOLTV logo
in the upper left corner of your screen or when you
press MENU on the remote or keyboard. You don’t
have to be signed on to see the Main menu. If what you
want to do requires signing on, clicking that choice
directs you to sign on automatically.
From the Main menu, you can use the functions of the
AOLTV service. E-mail, Buddy List, chat, pictures, and
the World Wide Web are just a click or two away. Here
are all the services you can use:
Guide: A complete program guide lists all of the programs you can view. Details are on page 25.
AOLTV Channels: Organizes TV-related information
and interactive content into 11 broad categories including News, Networks, Sports, and Movies so you can find
relevant, interesting stories faster.
Go To: Type a keyword or Web page address and go
straight to it, or search for a site you’re interested in.
Mail: Write e-mail to your friends, and read messages
they send you.
Buddy List: Shows you a list of friends who are
currently online and allows you to send them Instant
Messages as described below.
Instant Message: The Instant Message feature lets you
have one-on-one, real time, private chats with other AOL
members or non-AOL members using the AOL Instant
Messenger™ service.
Pictures: View online pictures from the film you developed, or pictures friends or family have sent you. Film
must be developed by a participating photo developer.
Favorites: Save favorite TV channels and Web sites and
return to places you’d like to visit again.
Chat: Start or join a chat group online and talk in real
time to other AOL members. When you’re watching TV,
you can automatically join a chat related to the program
or topic you’re watching. You can also participate in
AOL’s other chat rooms where members are discussing
issues of interest to you. AOLTV chat rooms are generally not affiliated with TV programming.
Help & Setup: Learn how AOLTV service areas work
and what AOLTV features can do for you. You can also
change billing information, preferences, and Parental
Control settings.
Sign On/Sign Off: Depending on whether you’re currently online, you can sign on or sign off.
USING KEYWORDS
A keyword is a word or phrase that identifies an area of the
AOLTV service. Keywords make it possible for you to jump
around quickly online, without having to remember exactly
how you got to a certain area. Some useful keywords are
noted in this User Manual, and more appear in online Help &
Setup.
Using a keyword is simple. Press the Go button on the wireless keyboard. Then, type the word in the text box that
appears and click Go. To look through a complete list of
AOLTV keywords, go to Keyword: Keyword.
NOTE: Some keywords on the AOL service might not be
available on the AOLTV service.

program is about to start.
The guide lists programs according to their time slot and
channel. It also includes channel categories and a TV window, which allows you to preview the program you
choose or watch a program while browsing the listings.

AOLTV service keeps your TV program on the screen in
most cases, and it lets you get back to your program fast, no
matter what you’re doing online.
THE TV ICON
Located in the upper right corner of your screen whenever you are online, the TV icon lets you click back to full
screen TV in an instant. Pressing the CLEAR button on
the remote control or wireless keyboard also returns you

PARENTAL CONTROLS
Parental Controls settings work according to age groupings. You determine what age group is most appropriate
for each screen name on your account. We recommend
that each child have his or her own screen name.
Parental Controls settings can be changed as your child’s
needs change. To change Parental Controls settings, you
must sign on with your primary screen name.
Parental Controls settings cover:
• What kinds of e-mail your child can receive and with
whom he or she can correspond.
• With whom your child exchanges Instant Message
notes.
• What areas your child can visit on the AOLTV service
and the Web.
For more information about Parental Controls, go to
Keyword: Parental Controls.
AOLTV COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Like any city, we take pride in, and are protective of, our community. The Community Guidelines at Keyword: TOS

ADDITIONAL HELP
When you’re online, you can always find information
about AOLTV features and functions by pressing MENU
on the remote control or wireless keyboard. This takes
you to the Main menu, where you can select Help &
Setup.
Topics are arranged in an outline format, with major
subjects like Starting Out, Member Services, and Parental
Controls. Under each major subject is a list of subheadings and articles that tell you what you need to know.
Help & Setup lets you change preferences and customize
your AOLTV service. Most settings can be updated
whenever you want.
When you’re offline, pressing MENU on the remote control or wireless keyboard, then selecting Help & Setup on

LIMITED WARRANTY
ONE YEAR EXCHANGE WARRANTY
FOR
AOLTV SET TOP BOX BY PHILIPS
WHAT IS COVERED?
Warranty coverage begins the day you purchase your product. For one year from the date of purchase, Philips will
exchange the Set Top Box with a new, repaired, renewed, or
comparable product (whichever is deemed necessary) if it
becomes defective or inoperative. There will be no charge for
the repair or exchange, but you will be responsible for costs
associated with shipping the product to a designated Philips
exchange center.
Do not send accessories with the unit; accessories will not be
replaced if sent.
All products, including replacement products, are covered
only for the balance of the original warranty period. When the
warranty on the original product expires, the warranty on the
repaired/replaced product also expires.
After one year from the date of purchase, Philips has the
option of either repairing the unit (for which you will pay for
the replacement of all parts and labor charges) or exchanging
the unit with one of equal or greater specifications (at a specified replacement charge to you).
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP…
Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing
proof of purchase. Attach it to this user manual and keep
both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material
in case you need to return your product. If warranty service is
needed, do not return accessories with the unit.
WHAT IS EXCLUDED?
Your warranty does not cover:
• Labor charges for installation or setup of the product.
• Installation, performance of, or repair of audio/video
cabling, telephone line, or accessory attachments used in
the accessory ports of the product.
• Product damage due to misuse, accident, lightning damage,
unauthorized repair, or other causes not within the control of Philips.
• Incidental or consequential damages resulting from the
product (some state laws do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you).
• Reception transmission problems caused by signal conditions, telephone line, or cable or antenna systems outside
the unit.
• A product that has been modified or adapted to enable it
to operate in any country other than the country for
which it was designed, manufactured, approved, and/or
authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.
• Product used for commercial or institutional purposes.

Out-of-warranty service can be obtained at a nominal cost for
replacement and handling. To determine whether your service
needs are in or out of warranty, contact AOLTV Member
Services at 1-800-810-4665.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE…
Please check the user manual before requesting service.
Adjustments of controls may save you a service call.

to be exchanged. If needed, the representative will give you a
return authorization number and complete shipping details.
You are responsible for the cost of returning the unit to us,
and we are responsible for returning the unit to you.
REMEMBER...
Record below the model and serial numbers found on the
product. Also, fill out and mail your warranty registration card
promptly. It will be easier for us to notify you if necessary.
(The return of the warranty card is not a condition for warranty coverage.)

other rights which vary from state to state.
Philips makes no warranty that the access connection will be a
local (not long distance) call or that international dialing connection(s) will not be required for use of the product outside
the United States.
